Arvilla's contest diet was ridiculous.
The guy ate something like 200 grams of carbs.
On his CARB UP days.
No wonder he doesn't makes any muscular gains post contest since he doesn't feed himself any good carbs.
Just stuffs himself with bullshit empty calories like Jello.
Solid, whole food, preferably biodynamic as well.
If Arvilla invested in that shit instead of running his food bill to huge amounts by buying prepared food, he'd feel, look and get even better results in the gym.
A holistic approach to living.

Hedge...where the hell do you get your information? "doesn't feed himself any good carbs", "stuffs himself" with jello, "running the food bill to huge amounts by buying prepared food"? You don't know Michael's diet outside of a few things he posted here inclusive of any carbs (good or bad) that he takes in. I stated that he "snacks" on sugar-free jello. And running the food bill to huge amounts by buying prepared foods is stated where exactly???
Let's understand this correctly here....Michael had 33% bodyfat (was 270 lbs) and needed to get down to contest weight and bf in about 3 months and you think he dieted wrong? That there "could be" muscle gains during contest prep? I could be wrong here but when you are in contest prep and dieting "down" ... how do you have muscle gains. I thought the point of being "off contest" was the time when you try to put on size, and when in "contest prep" you are removing fat and trying to not to loose muscle while doing so. As I said...I could be wrong, but I thought that was the whole idea. And in thinking so, I am going to have to go with the fact that Michael definitely did what he was supposed to do for his first contest. As shown here ... loss in bf, not in muscle.
I imagine now, being off season, is the time that he will work on size and work on making muscle gains.
But then again Hedge...you are the PRO. You are the one training the PROs and getting them on the stage to win the Olympia. Who are we to doubt what you have to say?
ROFLMAO Ya know, I used to think you were pretty intellegent and had good information to share with others here but now it is quite apparent that is not the case. You are just another kid who when has nothing to offer this board but a few paragraphs you pull from magazine and when that's done you just look to cause a riff with your serious lack of information.
